What a weekend.

Thank you to every artist, attendee, volunteer, sponsor, vendor, church, ministry partner, donor, and behind-the-scenes team member who helped make Praisefest 2026 possible.

For 15 years, Praisefest has been a place to gather around Worship, Community, and Generosity. This weekend, you made that mission visible through every song, conversation, prayer, meal packed, chair set up, invitation extended, and gift given.

Our 2026 theme was Bold Hope, and you helped make that hope visible all across the Flint Hills.

“Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.”
2 Corinthians 3:12

We are still gathering photos, stories, and memories from the weekend, but one thing is already clear: God is at work.

Thank you for celebrating Bold Hope with us.

Good morning, Praisefest family!

After an incredible Saturday, we invite you to join us today for Praisefest Community Church – Sunday Morning Worship at Cico Park.
Come as you are and gather with neighbors, friends, churches, and families from across the Flint Hills as we worship together.
We are honored to welcome Jeff Kelly as today’s speaker.
As we close out Praisefest weekend, let’s reflect on this year’s message:
BOLD HOPE

“Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.”
2 Corinthians 3:12

Let’s close this 15th-anniversary Praisefest weekend with worship, gratitude, and hope.

New at Praisefest this year: Dot Spots!

When you arrive at Praisefest on Saturday, stop by the Welcome Tent or find one of our volunteer greeters to pick up your official Praisefest wristband.

Then, explore the festival and visit all five designated Dot Spots to collect every dot on your wristband. Once your wristband is complete, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a special meet and greet with Megan Woods!

The drawing will take place at 6 PM, so come early, enjoy the atmosphere, find all five Dot Spots, and make sure you are entered before the drawing.

Look for the “Welcome to Praisefest – Guest Information” sign when you arrive!
